    What do you expect from people who were brainwashed since childhood to believe that a two-thousand-year-old philosopher would resurrect anyone who repeated his memes?

    Step 1) Be indoctrinated into an irreconcilable belief at an age when your brain is still forming.

    Step 2) Have every aspect of the world outside your circle telling you that what you were raised to believe is gobbledygook.

    Step 3) Ignore everything your senses and basic reasoning would tell you. Your logic centers and cognitive dissonance detectors were broken long ago.

    Step 4) Adopt new gobbledygook whenever the old gobbledygook gets stale. Rinse, repeat.
